Rich, The surprise here for me is that this is a 127 mm focal length lens but from a 616 camera. I thought that the 616 Kodak Monitor with the Anastigmat Special lens used a shorter focal length, like 114 mm or so. I don't have a reference nearby to check this, but are you sure that your lens didn't come off the World War II era "Combat Graphic", a military version without bellows which used a front-element-focusing lens of 127 mm if I recall correctly? If so, then the lens should have no trouble covering 4 X 5, because that is what the camera was!
